Dying on purpose in video games

Recommended Posts

When I do something I regret in an RPG I almost never die and reload to fix it. I think I did it one time, but I can't remember what it was I found so unacceptable--oh wait. Yes I can. It was when I murdered Mr. House in New Vegas. Ironically, I wound up killing him anyway when I reloaded, because he didn't really give me a viable alternative even though I didn't want to do it. Usually when I make an RPG choice I regret,  I live with the consequences, because I feel like it's a chance for me to learn from the mistake. Plus, I can look forward to doing it differently next time.

Stuck in level geometry - do you mean like when you jump behind an object that there is no way to get back around again, so you're trapped? 

 

Oh man, I always worry about that in games that auto-save and don't allow me to create save points. Sometimes I'll also strategically die to go back to the last checkpoint, because I'm worried if I progress without the resources I'll be up a creek without a paddle.

True, you dont need to die on purpose if there is a lot of checkpoints or autosave , but there are games like this where there is no way to progress whitout being fully prepared.

That's exactly what I meant. I think we're talking about the same thing. This is what I fear happening:

-I am low on resources.

-I decide to keep going.

-The game autosaves on me.

-I NEED a critical resource.

-I have no manual saves, so I can't go back. I am stuck forever.

If I am worried about that happening, that is precisely when I'll die on purpose or reload just so  I can try again to get the resources before the game reaches the next checkpoint and screws me.

Aye. That's what I meant. But yeah usually I either die or just reload a save. If it's an MMO I have no chance but to commit suicide.

I know many who play the mobile legends so bad that they kind of die when they get into the game and feed themselves to the tower. 

Thats just dumb 😆 I've done it but I wasnt trying to die in purpose, it was just a dumb move xD

Oh yeah I've been there, suicide is always the option to go. Unless the glitch also messes up your controllers so in that case I just unplug the console.
